19. 1. Since the Prophet ﷺ had an intense desire that all the people of his nation should embrace faith, in this Allah Almighty consoled the Prophet ﷺ and informed him that you are absolutely right and justified in your own place, but the one over whom his destiny has prevailed and Allah's word has been established against him, you are not able to save him from the fire of Hell.
